Spice Peranakan
This is a serene, leafy little outpost in the middle of nowhere—OK, we jest…but only a bit. C’mon, seriously, who wants to go have dinner at a biotech park? After moving from a modest outlet in Bukit Timah, Spice Peranakan is now a sleek, contemporary joint with all the requisite Peranakan trimmings in place. We […]
Borgata Trattoria Osteria
Borgata Trattoria Osteria is helmed by chef Andrea Badiali of the also erstwhile popular Sixth Avenue Italian joint Borgo. Borgata Trattoria Osteria offers straightforward Italian fare—the kind that would send you running down the streets of Emilia-Romagna in glee if you found that spot only locals knew about—in an informal restaurant setting. The waiters here […]
Okinawa Mimigar
Well known for its fountain-of-youth-like properties, the Okinawan diet has become popular among many Singaporeans hoping to eat their way younger. To understand more about this seemingly magical cuisine that promises to endow one with everlasting good health (and maybe great looks to boot), we went to this genuine Okinawan restaurant in the Gallery Hotel. […]
Putien
PUTIEN offers Heng Hwa (a town located in China’s Fujian province) cuisine, instead of generic Chinese food.

Raw Kitchen Bar
Tucked away on Bukit Timah, this intimate bar and restaurant has a secluded garden, perfect for sampling from their sizeable cocktail list. The indoor décor is an eclectic mix of assorted furniture and quirky art pieces. The offbeat quality of the place exudes a very cozy feel—because everything seems like it came straight out of […]
The Marmalade Pantry (ION Orchard)
This is still the place to see and be seen in, replete with tai-tais, fashionistas and the occasional executives and families who come here for the supremely delicious (and sinful) cupcakes, which it is most famous for. We were surprised to actually get seats here, even through we didn’t make any prior reservations, considering that […]
Supperclub
If you want something that is nothing short of an amazing new experience, then Supperclub Singapore is the absolute place to be as it’s proving to be one of the sexiest spots in town right now and a hot pick up joint for those looking for something different.
